Hi guys,
Just wondering what the coldest temp I can bottle my brew at, I thought I read somewhere that the brew should be around 20deg for bottling, but I dont bulk prime, I use sugar drops and put one sugar drop into each 345ml bottle.
I started to think the reason why you should bottle at 20deg would be to help dissolve the sugar while bulk priming, so if you just use sugar drops it should be okay to bottle the brew at say, 4deg onwards.
I've got a brew crash chilling ATM and wanted to bottle it tommorow, but havent had enough days at 3deg, so I didnt want to bring the temp up to 20 yet.
Oh yeah, I usually keep my bottles in a cupboard thats at about 20-25 degree to condition for 2 weeks after bottling.
